Douglas Jester

I studied classical music, performing on piano and viola. I studied jazz, playing piano and string bass. I also danced ballet and modern. I enjoy a wide variety of music but particularly enjoy the full canon of western classical music, opera, latin and smooth jazz, the classic and folk rock of my adolescence in the 1960s and 1970s, fado, and much of what is often labeled as "world music". I also have particularly enjoyed the resurgence of lyrical vocal soloists in recent years.
